Ego Boosts

Ego boosts. They make the world go 'round. They're everything from 'nice shoes' to being hit on in a bar. Everything is an ego boost, if you look at it the right way.Everyone needs one now and again, too. They don't hurt you, only pick you up. That's what no-name-boy did for me. He gave me the biggest ego boost ever. Here I was, lost in life and looking like crap, and I had the best conversation with him ever. The kind that lasts all night and where you cover everything but nothing at the same time. I didn't know his name, his age, or anything too specific. I just knew that I was absolutely intrigued by him. I also knew I was never going to see him again, and I was perfectly fine with that.I couldn't get him off of my mind for the rest of the drive, though. I had a smile plastered on my face that wasn't leaving anytime soon. I didn't mind hearing sappy love songs on the radio, and I couldn't forget his smile. 'Take it for what it is, sunshine.' I thought, 'It is what it is, was what it was, now move on.' It was just what I needed, though.An ego boost.

About Me

This started out as just an outlet for my writing...but then, a major event changed my life. Not only College, but being a 20 year old with Rheumatoid Arthritus, a chronic illness that plagues me day-to-day. This has become my story.
